To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, JOHN G. LOOK, of

Olathe, in the county of Johnson and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful :Im-

provement in Breast-Strap Fenders, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this speciiication, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective viewof a breaststrap fender with my improvements attached. Fig. 2 is a top or plan view of the same.

The object of my present invention is to secure a fastening for the neck-yoke strap integral with the breast-strap fender, whereby the neck-yoke strap would pull from the center of the breast-strap and the endof the yoke; and it consists in .the devicehereinafter explained and claimed, and is an improvement on Patent N 0. 183,312, issued to me October 17, 1876.

To enable othersskilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to explain the exact manner in which I have carried it out.

' The curved breast-plate A is formed with the slotted bent'arm D, extending horizontally from one side of the plate toward the other,

as shown in Fig. 2, until the slot in the arm is strap plate, the pull of the neck-yoke strap will be from the center of the breast-strap, the essential object sought to be secured by my present invention. This construction is also a source of great convenienceas in hitchin The strap E is shown in dotted and unhitching, and in attaching anddetaching the neck-yoke strap.
